title: Reflex rhinorrhea after a right caudate infarct.
abstract: After a right caudate infarct, a 57-year-old man developed a left reflex rhinorrhea induced by gustation. Since data from the blink reflex and facial electrodiagnosis were normal, a disinhibitory response from caudate nucleus to superior salivatory nucleus is proposed.
